Design of a Ccd Focal - Plane Image Half - Toner
نویسندگان
چکیده
The design of a CCD image half-toner integrated monolithically on the focal plane with a 256 X 256 frame transfer imager is reported and the algorithm used is discussed. The imager/half-toner chip is projected to achieve a throughput of 30 frames per second.

Update on focal-plane image processing research
An update on research activities at Columbia University in the area of focal-plane image processing is presented. Two thrust areas have been pursued: image reorganization for image compression and image half-toning. The image reorganization processor is an integration of a 256 x 256 frame-transfer CCD imager with CCD-based circuitry for pixel data reorganization to enable difference encoding fo...

متن کاملDesign of a CCD focal-plane codec preprocessor for lossless image compression
The design of a CCD-based codec preprocessor integrated with an areal imager is presented. The imager is a 256x256 buried channel frame transfer device with 15x15 um2pixels. Conventionally, imagers deliver pixel data in a raster-scan sequential format. Typical of many image processing tasks, the image coding scheme used in our lossless compression algorithm requires 3x3 pixel neighborhood block...

The use of charge-coupled device (CCD) circuits in Z-plane architectures for focal-plane image processing is discussed. The low-power, compact layout nature of CCDs makes them attractive for Z-plane application. Three application areas are addressed; non-uniformity compensation using CCD MDAC circuits, neighborhood image processing functions implemented with CCD circuits, and the use of CCDs fo...
